We attended a workshop named ‘Making Mearns a Plastic Clever School’ run by Primary 6 and 7 pupils who planned and organised super activities for us to take part in.
We learned all about the damage plastic does to the environment and the importance of recycling.

In Technology, we were working for a jewellery company. Our job was to design a new necklace.
First we created design criteria.
We had to create a necklace with twelve beads; two long coloured beads, one circle coloured bead and we had to make sure our beads were placed in a pattern.
We created a plan of our necklaces linked to the design criteria.
Then we used our plans during our build to help us solve the design problem.
We marked 3cm on our straws to make sure the long beads were all the same size.
At the end we evaluated our finished products.
We are enjoying playing games on the iPads. ‘King of Maths’ is great for practicing our counting skills and Education City is helping with our sounding out and blending. It’s mostly thumbs up all round!
